[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-3. This utility model discloses a flexible pin insertion device, comprising: a machine base 1, a tape winding mechanism 2 mounted on the machine base for feeding material, a flow channel 3 connected to the tape winding mechanism, a pin punching module 4 mounted on the side of the flow channel 4, a lead screw servo module 5, a pin gripper mechanism 6 mounted on the lead screw servo module, a first pushing cylinder 7, and a second pushing cylinder 8. The tape winding mechanism includes a tape winding reel 21, a tape winding motor 22 for driving the tape winding reel to feed material, a servo motor 23, and a ratchet 24 connected to the output end of the servo motor for supporting the pin material tape. The tape winding motor drives the tape winding reel to rotate and take in the tape. The PIN strip is fed and unloaded. After receiving the start signal, the servo motor drives the ratchet mechanism to rotate, thereby moving the PIN strip horizontally forward for feeding. The winding mechanism conveys the PIN strip into the flow channel. When the PIN strip is conveyed to the punching station, the PIN punching module cuts the PIN strip at the punching station on the flow channel into PIN blocks. The first pusher cylinder drives the PIN gripper mechanism to grip the cut PIN blocks and transports them to the hardware loading carrier by the lead screw servo module. The second pusher cylinder drives the PIN gripper mechanism to insert the PIN blocks into the product in the hardware loading carrier.
[0021] Specifically, the PIN punching module includes a platform 41, a punching cylinder 42 mounted on the platform, a guide frame 43, and a punching die 44 mounted on the guide frame. The guide frame is mounted on the platform via two guide pillars 48, and a first elastic element 45 is sleeved on the guide pillars. The punching cylinder is connected to the guide frame and can drive the guide frame to move up and down to drive the punching die to press down and cut the PIN strip. When the PIN strip is transported to the punching station, the punching cylinder drives the guide frame to move downward along the guide pillars. The punching die has a cut 46 for cutting the PIN strip. The cut of the punching die cuts the PIN strip into PIN blocks. A receiving box 47 is provided below the punching station to collect the cut waste.
[0022] Specifically, the PIN needle gripper mechanism includes a mounting base 61 mounted on a lead screw servo module, a push block 62 slidably connected to the mounting base, a gripper cylinder 63 mounted on the side of the push block, and a gripper 64 mounted on the output end of the gripper cylinder for inserting PINs. The PIN needle gripper mechanism is linearly moved to the PIN needle punching module by the lead screw servo module. The first pusher cylinder pushes the push block forward to the PIN clamping position. The gripper cylinder drives the gripper to clamp the cut PIN needles. The lead screw servo module moves the gripper mechanism to the hardware pin insertion position. The hardware loading base holds the product. The second pusher cylinder pushes the PIN needle gripper cylinder close to the hardware loading base and drives the gripper to insert the PIN needle block into the product. Two sets of spring-loaded reset components 65 are provided between the mounting base and the push block. The spring-loaded reset components are reset springs, which help the push block to reset after the PIN needle is clamped.
[0023] Specifically, the machine is also equipped with a two-hand start button 9 to control the start and stop of the second pusher cylinder. The product hardware loading carrier can be changed according to production needs. After manually placing the hardware product, press the two-hand start button, and the second pusher cylinder will push the gripper to complete one PIN insertion operation. The gripper returns to the initial position under the action of the reset spring, and the lead screw servo module moves to the PIN punching module to restart the above operation and complete a set of action cycles.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the PIN needle roll material corresponding to different products can be quickly changed according to the production needs of the products, with high adaptability, good versatility, smooth and stable feeding, and high degree of automation, which improves production capacity and brings great convenience to production and use.
[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
